I recently acquired two knives said to be North African in origin. They appear to be of Kard style with sheaths of wood and covered in red leather. The handles of the knives are also wood, one decorated, the other plain with a wire wrap around 1/2 of the grip. The are both approx 11 inches in length sheathed. The one with the decorated grip also has some unusual markings on the blade. Can anyone help me identify these?

Thanks,

Gary
